Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 357 - 205: Mutual Dependence

Li Ang could only lower his head and listen to her speak, thinking to himself that she was becoming more and more like a mother.

"I should have some clues now." He promised.

After obtaining the first Chapter of the Material Magic Scripture, Li Ang began to gradually understand other Professions’ experiences of harnessing Magic Power to interfere with material. These days, his understanding of the Material Dimension has also become deeper.

On this basis, he gradually could distinguish the obvious differences between the Material Dimension and the Magic Power Dimension. Although the path of the witch is quite peculiar compared to others, he could confirm that recognizing this obvious difference was the prerequisite condition for tearing open the dimensional rift.

However, the matter of being occupied by the Demon’s Spiritual Curse has taken up more of his thoughts these days, and he hasn’t been able to fully immerse himself in this area of research.

When Elaphia saw the materials of the Soul devouring Spider and the Whiteflower Wasp, she raised her eyebrows. Even within the Holy City, such dangerous Demons had bred, and even she felt it was a difficult matter to handle.

"Fortunately, you discovered and eliminated them. If they had truly harmed innocent people, someone among the Order Knights would be in trouble. Lisya is stationed in the Holy City now, and she would have to write a very troublesome report."

As she spoke, Aifei couldn’t help but smile.

"Speaking of which."

Li Ang suddenly thought that since the commander of the Order Investigation Corps would have to write a report if innocents were harmed, then how did the alchemist who tamed the Soul devouring Spider and created the Whiteflower Wasp escape punishment eight years ago?

This question was answered by Elaphia: "Although I wasn’t involved in the core affairs of the Holy City at that time, I did hear about it. It was because the promiscuous head of the Cha’ain Clan died, and the people in the Order Investigation Corps were all swamped with work, possibly leading to oversight."

In this light, from the accidental death of the head of the Cha’ain Clan, to the Magic Power disturbance that could affect spirits in the Holy City, to the Whiteflower Wasp, there was actually quite a coincidence involved.

As they chatted, they arrived at Cormac’s engineering shop, and when Aifei saw the Giant Mechanical Armor, she frowned and scrutinized Li Ang for a long time.

"How on earth did you find this place? If it weren’t for you, I would have suspected you of secretly reading the case files of the Order Sky Knight Corps."

She forcefully ripped open the Dimensional Rift, bound the Giant Mechanical Armor with metal Chains, and pulled it into the dimensional crevice.

"I relied on discovering the special traces of Spirituality."

The rarity of the witch once again provided an excuse for finding an explanation.

"I’ve heard a bit about this engineer’s matter; it caused quite a stir back then."

As Aifei took the engineer’s diary from Li Ang, she said, "Six years ago, Flower City was expanding, and I was already coming here to hand over work. I was seconded to the Order Maintenance team for a wage protest assembly at that time."

So she had such a past.

But it’s normal; she wasn’t someone who just appeared out of nowhere, naturally having a past, and a younger, more vibrant time.

However, when her strength wasn’t as it is now, she probably couldn’t leisurely ride a Flying Sword, right?

Li Ang couldn’t begin to imagine this proud young lady being affected by her height like the other Douding Family members, maintaining order in a crowd of excited people; what a picture that would be?

He was very curious but didn’t dare ask.

The Blondie Douding said, "At that time, the scheduled leader of the activities to meet the former Speaker didn’t show up, and this matter ended in failure. Shortly after, they were found dead in different places."

"This project, we only know it was led by Yosain, but information on other stakeholders has been erased."

Li Ang scratched his head: "How on earth did Yosain manage to evade investigation right under the noses of so many of your elites?"

"If I knew, we would have already apprehended him."

Elaphia raised the diary with a smile: "However, this is an unexpected surprise. Back then, this case was identified as a cover-up, and the most clear evidence ledger was stolen. But now, with this victim’s diary, we can conduct an investigation on him."

"Yosain Cha’Ain, the Cha’ain Clan, the mysterious successor, the inexplicable death of the former head of the family..."

Li Ang murmured these words, thinking of the special vase he ordered from a Yijie Association merchant not long ago. It came from the Cha’ain Family and was related to the "Forest Fairy," and in reality, a Cha’ain did indeed collude with a Fairy Dragon...

Elaphia then said, "You’ve helped me a lot again."

The Blondie Douding was much happier than the smile on her face showed, and she abruptly flew close to Li Ang, seeming like she wanted to give him a hug but not knowing where to start.

Before her awkward and shy expression could rise, Li Ang lowered his head and leaned toward her.

Aifei quickly reached out and tapped him, showing a satisfied expression.

"You’ve done a great thing, thank you. But don’t fall behind on improving your own strength."

"Alright, mother."

Elaphia’s cheeks were like powdered peaches: "Saying it again, are you really afflicted with an Oedipus complex, or are you just teasing me?"

"Actually, it’s quite different."

Li Ang was prepared to be suddenly chopped down by her Flying Sword, and quickly said: "It’s just that your cute appearance, yet you exhibit this deep maternal charm of a woman, creating a contrast that’s unforgettable, making me often think of it, even infatuated after experiencing it once."

Elaphia trembled all over, standing on the Flying Sword, neither moving nor speaking, and her expression froze as well.

But this pause didn’t last long, she immediately used a seemingly nonchalant tone to say: "Oh, I see."

Li Ang had thought she would be shy or angry, but this reaction was completely unexpected.

The Blondie Douding stepped on the Flying Sword, leaving the engineering shop directly and flying towards the direction she had agreed with Farlonio.

Li Ang chased after her, flying for quite a while before Aifei slowed down to match his pace.

"Um..."

She initially faced forward, but once she began to speak, her maintained aura faded, and she suddenly didn’t know where to look with her eyes.

"If you need, this miss isn’t averse to showing you this charm, hmph."

She reluctantly spoke with a trembling tone, then recomposed herself as if she had more things to say.

Li Ang maintained a calm demeanor, not agitating her already unsteady nerves.

"What I want to say, what I want to say is, I actually..."

Her difficulty in settling on language was out of character, and Li Ang felt that very few people should have seen such a scene, or perhaps no one had.

"...relying on others isn’t a bad thing, sometimes, I also want someone to rely on..."

Aifei mumbled a sentence in an extremely small voice and then flew away like a meteor.

Li Ang kept the pronunciation in mind, pondering over it for a long time before understanding what she said. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He remembered this highly secret confession in his heart, waiting for the time when he would need to become the one being relied upon.

When seeing Farlonio, Elaphia was standing on a Flying Sword to the side, while the former was looking at Li Ang with a strange gaze.

"What’s wrong?"

"Did Mr. Li Ang and Aifei have a fight?"

"No."

"Then that’s bad." Falo immediately said.

"What do you mean?"

Li Ang did not understand what she was thinking.

"Then it must be that she opened her heart to you, in that case, in the future—"

A silver-glowing Flying Blade directly stabbed towards Falo, piercing through her body.

Falo stood still as if her body turned into a Phantom, the place where the blade passed through causing ripples, she stood there like a doll.

"Don’t resort to violence, Aifei’s terrifying." Falo said, rubbing the place where the blade had passed.

"Don’t resort to violence! Don’t resort to violence! So scary! So scary!" The miniature green dragon on Falo’s shoulder echoed.

"Noisy." Elaphia said coldly.

She still didn’t dare to look at Li Ang.

Falo looked at Aifei a few more times, then seemed quite satisfied and clapped her hands: "Let’s go, Mr. Li Ang, I’ll take you to the meeting place of the Dome Furnace Association."
